MK These changes would have made my life a lot easier during the go congress. I was using cgoban extensively on my laptop, but i had no mouse, just the touchpad, which was bringing me to tears sometimes.

When CGoban works as sgf editor:

ctrl-x
cut
ctrl-v
paste
shift-ctrl-arrow-up
move a branch up (works like shift-up from the drop-down menu)
shift-ctrl-arrow-down
move a branch down
ctrl-s
save game

ctrl-tab
switch to the next tab (room or chat)
shift-ctrl-tab
switch to the previous tab

arrow-down
drops down a menu (file, user and so on), if pressed another time, highlight an item and so on

the highlighted item

tab
switch to the next field
shift-tab
swith the previous field

change values of fields like game type, rulesets,board size, spacebar marks or unmarks 'private' and 'open games'



Hyperlinks
Often during discussion while watching a game in progress, beginners become confused by the wealth of Go terminology that become second nature as players gain experience. I suggest a hot-click feature, where you highlight a term or terms in the text of chat, click on it, and your browser (or a pop-up browser window of the client) opens to that term if it's found in any of several on-line Go sources (Client Options menu, choose your favorite) such as SL, or any other that people suggest. Multiple words can be concatenated together, with punctuation dropped, etc - that's simple. If the term isn't found, allow the destination to handle it - SL's "Do you want to create it?" page, or perhaps at another site, whatever their 404 page is. --Oryx
